MOLDOVA – Despite previously intending to employ a national final, TRM chose to pick its participant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 internally.
Following the live auditions phase, TRM and a jury picked the nation’s representative for Turin. The decision to use an internal selection was taken in response to an increase in Covid-19 infections in Moldova.
For the third time, Zdob and Zdub will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. The group represented Moldova in their first appearance in the competition in 2005, and they returned in 2011.
To represent Moldova in Turin, a total of twenty-eight performers and twenty-eight songs participated. Sasha Bognibov’s second song in the selection “My Friend is Gay” was not performed.
